The year is all but over. All over but the counting. Actually, we got the counting done early, so it's truly just over. We finished the year early! Yay!
And as a reward you'll be getting a bunch of Top 5s all at once. Starting with this one, the best products of 2009. The ranking is based on the editors' rating our CNET reviewers gave the products with editors' choice awards, and your user ratings are used as tie-breakers.
So watch the video, then head back to this post and answer the trivia question in the comments below.
No, no, no. This isn't some Dan Brown-inspired homage to products attributed to Lucifer or some such crazy thing. We mean autumn. You know, when the leaves change. We went through all the reviews we did over the past three months and ordered them by rating. So these are the best products we've reviewed so far this fall.
And as usual there's a prize. A lame prize. And you can win it by watching the video, then coming back to this blog post and answering the question in the comments below. Be one of the first 10 to answer correctly, and you could be randomly chosen to win.
Last week's answer: HTC Dream T-Mobile G1
Everybody's all smitten with smartphones, but what if you don't want to be interrupted with a call while you're listening to your music? What if you don't want to risk your precious and expensive smartphone at the gym? What if you want to carry every song you own in one player? If this describes you, take a look at our top 5 best MP3 players. They play some video, but mostly they play music. Sweet, sweet music.
And of course as always after you watch the show, come back here and leave an answer to the lame prize question in the comments and you could win!
In our latest Top 5 video, we (myself with the help of Download's Jason Parker ad Webware's Josh Lowensohn) give you our take on the top 5 best iPhone applications.
I know at least one of you disagrees, though. Or will. So watch the video, then come back and post your reactions on the blog. Next week we'll do it all over again with the worst iPhone applications.

The Nokia N95 is here! Check out Bonnie Cha's First Look video on CNET TV. I took the phone home for a few days last weekend and played around with the video camera, taking shots of my dog and shooting a short description of my friends impression of the new Tarantino/Rodriguez double feature, Grindhouse. Great-looking camera and a cool phone with cool features, but as my CNET TV colleagues will tell you I am a Treo addict, so no QWERTY keyboard is a real drag for me.
Another favorite video from this week is the music show featuring our Download.com Music editors. This week's Best New Music features Andrew Bird, Ellen Allien, the band Midlake, and the hip-hop group Gutterfly.
And from the New York auto show, this isn't my dad's Vette!
Have a great weekend!
